Don't You Think Dark Lips Are Spoiling Your Personality

Dark lips aren’t necessarily a bad thing! Everyone has a different natural lip color — it’s as varied as skin color. Some people have pink lips, others have lips that are light, but others are darker.. In fact, the lips contain the skin pigment melanin, just like any part of the body. In dark people, the lips contain more melanin, and therefore the red or pink color, which is actually the blood in the blood vessels in the lips, is not as noticeable or prominent.
There is no real way to change the actual color of your lips if they are naturally dark. All people do not have pink lips — pink lips are just another beauty myth like a number of hair and skin myths, and the color of the lips is as varied as skin color itself.
 First of all, have your lips always been dark? If you went from pink lips to dark lips very rapidly, and they don’t seem to be changing back, it could be a sign of an underlying health problem. If this is the case, visit a doctor for a check up. But if your lips have always been dark, you might want to try a couple of these methods to lighten lips:
